Puzzling

With more time at home, we all need some positive things to do. Puzzles can be a stress reliever and a helpful and constructive tool for passing the time. And now any photo on your smart phone or computer can be a puzzle.

We came across a website that allows you to do all sorts of jigsaw puzzles. The site is www.jigsawexplorer.com . You can do any of the puzzles they provide for free on their site or use your own photo to create a puzzle. If you choose to use your own photo, as we did with our Chums Choices drawing above, you can also choose the number of pieces you want the puzzle to be and the level of difficulty. From your computer or smart phone you can work any jigsaw puzzle, anywhere and anytime.
